Commuting Around Lower Queen Anne

A sprawling city has its downsides: Seattle consistently ranks in the top ten most congested cities in the country. The city's rush hour traffic is by far the worst on major thoroughfares. Commuting on I5, 99, or across the water to Redmond almost always means heavy traffic. What would otherwise take less than an hour can take up to two.
